If that spillway wall had broken, the buttress excavations would have filled and all the digging work would have had to be done over.”,Both lads proved themselves worthy of Jen's goodness, and were soon in active exercise of the professions which they had chosen. Maurice joined a cavalry regiment and David was admitted to the bar. Then the major was thankful.
